Rajagopal, There is a 7F version:

but I would not be overly keen to have a sheath this size in the average radial artery. I'm not a cardiologist, maybe this is normal practise ?

I tend to disagree with the wire part. Unlike the metal J tipped wire , the terumo wire never passes into false lumen and even if it does, it will not create a hematoma. I have used this in more than 2000 cases and feel that this is the best. using a Cook's needle and a Terumo wire produces the best results
I would like to know if Terumo markets 7F radial sheaths?
